Information governance

Information governance is an approach to managing information assets across an entire organisation to support its business outcomes. It involves having frameworks, policies, processes, standards, roles and controls in place to meet regulatory, legal, risk and operational requirements. Information governance is an essential element of corporate governance that must be aligned with business outcomes and risks.

An essential part of the success criteria for Principle 1 – Information is valued in the Digital Continuity 2020 Policy is for your agency to implement an information governance framework and annual survey reporting on information governance.
